Overview
This intensive course is designed to teach the fundamental investigative techniques needed to respond to today’s cyber threats. The fast-paced course is built upon a series of hands-on labs that highlight the phases of a targeted attack, sources of evidence and principles of analysis. Examples of skills taught include how to conduct rapid triage on a system to determine whether it is compromised, uncover evidence of initial attack vectors, recognise persistence mechanisms and investigate an incident throughout an enterprise.
Although the programme is focused on analysing Windows based systems and servers, the techniques and investigative processes are applicable to all systems and applications. The course includes detailed discussions of common forms of endpoint, network and file-based forensic evidence collection and their limitations as well as how attackers move around in a compromised Windows environment. The course also explores information management that enriches the investigative process and bolsters an enterprise security programme. Discussion topics include the containment and remediation of a security incident, and the connection of short-term actions to longer-term strategies that improve organisational resiliency.
Key Takeaways
At the end of this programme, the participiants will be able to:

- Conduct system triage to answer key questions about what transpired across the enterprise during an incident
- Apply lessons learned to proactively investigate an entire environment (including metadata, registry, event logs, services, persistence mechanisms and artifacts of execution) at scale for signs of compromise
- Manage and effectively record information related to ongoing investigations and incidents
- Understand the role of the remediation phase in an enterprise investigation
- Understand how to hunt for threats using threat intelligence, anomaly detection and known threat actor techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs)
